By Nick Martin, Sky Correspondent, in Peru
Two women accused of smuggling £1.5m worth of cocaine out of Peru are expected to be charged later.
Michaella McCollum, from Dungannon, and Melissa Reid, from Lenzie near Glasgow, who are both 20, have spent the past two weeks in police custody awaiting charge.
The Peruvian anti-drug police say they have concluded their investigation into the case, which will now go before the public prosecutor's office.
The contents of that report will form the basis of any charges against the pair, which they are expected to hear in a courtroom later.
Ms McCollum and Ms Reid both say that they were forced to carry the drugs by a gang of Columbian drug traffickers who said they would hurt the womens' families if they did not go through with the plan.
Police will present their case to the District Attorney of Lima at a hearing today.
It comes just a day after CCTV footage emerged which senior police officers claim show Ms McCullum in the Peruvian capital on August 5 walking around freely despite the women saying they were held at gunpoint on that day.
The police say the CCTV will form the basis of their case when it goes before the district prosecutor.
